Volunteer Shopping Scam
Letter From Vicar Jon
Letter From Vicar Jon
Dear Friends,
As you will all be aware we are entering an unprecedented time in the village and also across the country and the world as the full effect of Coronavirus begins to take hold in our communities. As we have seen from the experiences of other countries, such as China and Italy, one of the ways of dealing with the spread of the virus is to close down places where the public gather. The decision was taken this week that the Church in Wales – along with other Christian and different faith organisations – has stopped doing formal services, so all our church services and meetings are cancelled with immediate effect. It had been my intention to keep St Mary’s open at certain times for private prayer and reflection. However, since the Prime Minister’s briefing on Monday 23 March, that is not possible either.
This Easter may well be the first time that the Eucharist has not been celebrated in St Mary’s for 800 years, although it is conceivable that there were other occasions of great national crisis, when this occurred.
Those who follow the church on Facebook, will know that I am trying to do some services through social media and you can find that on: https://www.facebook.com/sullywenvoeandstlythans
Alternatively – if you would like to contact me at any point then phone me on 02920595347 or email me on revjonormrod@yahoo.co.uk. If I can help you then I will do my best to do so – just one caveat I am no good at DIY so please do not ask me to do any decorating!
In the meantime, we obviously have a responsibility to ourselves, family, friends and neighbours so do look after one another by looking after yourselves too.
Take care all and stay safe.
With my prayers to you all at this time of Easter.
Jon Ormrod,
Priest in Charge of Wenvoe with St Lythans.
Normal Service Will be Resumed ASAP

Neighbourhood Watch Team Proposals
The Neighbourhood Watch Team
The team are putting together a scheme where any Wenvoe resident can call for help with things like picking up shopping, collecting medicines, posting letters, or just a friendly phone chat. They will try to make a volunteer available anywhere in the village, who can be contacted easily. You should see a small form come through the door in the coming days with the name of a contact. Note that volunteers will not have medical skills, so in the event of sickness, please follow Government and NHS advice from the news.
The integrity of the Neighbourhood Watch cannot be underestimated and you are directed also to the message from Alan French on page 5.
If anyone is able to volunteer their services, please contact Jackie Gauci (07876 207843) or Alan French (02920 59 8092).

February Meeting Report
Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinators met on February 19 2020 and items from the discussions included:
Poor health had forced Trevor Case to resign from the Watch after many years as a Co-ordinator and Vice Chairman.
Building in the St Lythams Park estate is now almost complete but there are only 2 Co-ordinators. More are needed.
If you live in St Lytham’s Park and are interested in helping to deter crime in your locality and establish a community spirit, would you consider becoming a Co-ordinator?
If so, please contact our Secretary/Treasurer Jackie Gauci on 07876 207843 or jackie.gauci47 @gmail.com
A reply from the Clerk to the Community Council about the nuisance of dogs fouling Wenvoe Playing Field confirmed that the field was a “dogs on lead” area. It was noted that some dogs are brought as a group, probably by people conducting dog walking businesses and it was agreed to explore the legal position about this practice.
One Co-ordinator had introduced a register of contact numbers for residents which was shared among the residents themselves. It could be used at times such as accidents at home when local help was needed.
Co-ordinators were invited to take part in the village activities over the weekend of May 8-10 when the 75th anniversary of the ending of World War II in Europe was to be marked.
Parking on the pavement near Old Market had caused obstruction and the PCSO had been informed.
Officers elected for 2020/21 were:
Chairman Alan French
Vice Chairman Colin Thomas
Secretary/Treasurer Jackie Gauci

What Colour Analysis is All About
I often get asked what Colour Analysis is all about, what does it involve and what really are the benefits to me getting my colours done. So get yourself a cup of tea and enjoy:
♠ What is colour analysis? – In a nutshell it’s an in-depth three stage process that identifies the perfect pallet of colours that complement your hair, skin and eye colouring the most.
♠ Can I analyse myself online? – There are compa-nies that claim to do this. However it’s very difficult to achieve this accurately without the perfect lighting, having drapes in 135 colours and someone who has a trained eye for colour analysis.
♠ Y Why have your colours done? – Once you know the colours that suit you you will receive a swatch wallet containing examples of 42 colours to use when shopping. Once you have this you will know instant-ly whether or not an item of clothing or make-up is going to work well with your colouring saving you time when shopping and also money as you won’t make mistakes. When you wear colours that suit you you will look brighter, more radiant, healthier and younger. Wearing the wrong colours can be draining, change your skin tone, clash with your hair colour and age you. Ultimately wearing colours that you look great wearing will make you feel happy!
♠ What happens during a colour consultation? – You will learn about the concept and theory of colour analysis and how the tone, depth and clarity of your features look great with some colours and not so good with others. I will take you through the 3-stage process to identify all your perfect colours. There are 24 different combinations so your pallet will be very unique to you. You’ll discover your really “wow” colours which always give me goose bumps and learn how to introduce your new colours into your ward-robe and your life. I will also show you a personalised pallet of make-up colours so you can see how your whole look pulls together.
♠ Where do I go to have my colours done? – I have a style studio based in Wenvoe with the perfect lighting for analysing colours.
♠ How long does it take? Usually between 2 and 2½hours.
♠ How much does it cost? – £125 which includes your personalised swatch wallet and a make-up tutorial.
♠ How long will I benefit from it? -A lifetime unless you change your hair colour dramatically or your hair and skin colour has aged naturally since you last had it done.
